When you create Facebook Carousel with links, it allows you to customize each carousel item (its image, caption and link).

This type of carousel is very versatile and allows you to tell a story, highlight product and services, post a product tour, promote blog articles, and a lot more.

Each item from you carousel will be create from a link you add, and they can be customized to have its own caption, subtext, and image. Keep in mind that each link equals 1 (one) item on your carousel.

  • Note: if you want to edit and add different links (steps below), be aware that, when you add a new link, the content will change (featured image, title, text), so be sure to replace links first and then customize the rest of your content, following the steps bellow.
